Description

Vintage Italian Gaja chair designed in 1974 by the Japanese architect Kazuhide Takahama for the brand Simon Gavina. Originally the chair was designed for a small local restaurant, but due to the ultra-light construction and timeless design, it became incredibly sought-after and over time became part of Simon Gavina's 'CollectionULTRAMOBILE' - which includes designs by e.g. Carlo Scarpa, Marcel Breuer, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Man Ray and Vico Magistretti. If you look at the collection as a whole, it gives an incredibly fine picture of what we today perceive as ''Italian Style''. The Simon Gavina brand is today owned by Italian Cassina.

FAQ
What is Murano?
Murano is an island off the coast of Venice, Italy, world-renowned for its glass art and craftsmanship. In 1291, due to the risk of fire, the Italian government decided that glassblowers could only work on the island of Murano. Over the past 700 years, Murano glassblowers have been responsible for inventing everything from glass bottles to mirrors.

However, Murano is much more than just a beautiful island. Being a Murano glassblower is a special certification and a mark of quality in itself. It typically takes 7-10 years to become a Murano glassblower, making it a craft reserved for the very best.
What is Murano lamps?
Murano lamps are handcrafted by Italian glassblowers from Murano or the surrounding area. They are characterized by their colorful glass, intricate patterns, and unique shapes. At Murano Vintage, we exclusively curate original Murano lamps and distinctive interior objects.
Hvor are the Murano lamps produced?
Our Murano table lamps, ceiling lamps, and wall lamps are blown according to ancient traditions from Murano or the surrounding area. The glassblowers, known as Maestros, have passed down their craft through many generations. There are many glassmaking techniques, but the Italian glassblowers from Murano keep their methods and craftsmanship closely guarded. However, like other glass, it is first heated and then shaped.
How does Murano glass get its color?
During the process of shaping a glass lamp, minerals are added. These minerals give the glass its beautiful color. Occasionally, gold and silver are also used to create patterns within the different layers of glass in lamps, bonbonnières, and other glass objects.
